Using the 4CIF Resolution to Open the Eyes of Surveillance Cameras

The 4CIF Resolution format is common enough that it warrants some discussion. Image resolution becomes very important when discussing DVR compatibility. Most processors really don’t perform well when it comes to recording in a real time resolution. However, there are some units that are able to record in 4CIF on all channels in real time. This is an impressive accomplishment. Many DVR units only record at the CIF resolution at around 30 frames per second.
